Metal sulfur batteries can be charged and discharged 10,000 times: in 5-10 years, it is expected to become a new way of energy storage

According to foreign media, researchers at the University of Adelaide in Australia have recently made significant progress in sulfur battery technology, and the relevant research results were published in the journal Nature Communications. According to Professor Qiao Shizhang, director of the University's Center for Energy and Catalytic Materials, the researchers designed a new high-efficiency electrode material to catalyze battery reactions and improve the durability of metal-sulfur batteries. He said that metal-sulfur batteries have the characteristics of low cost and high energy density, and are one of the main options for the next generation of energy storage equipment. However, the cyclic durability of such batteries is generally poor, and the number of times it can be recharged is limited. The researchers improved on this problem, and they designed a new sulfur battery to charge and discharge up to 10,000 times. (The Paper)
